The other one is when the fight scene spills over into Buddy Bizarre's production.

Buddy: "What in the hell do you think you're doing here? This is a closed set!"
Taggart: "Piss on you! I'm workin' for Mel Brooks!"

Taggart was definitely my favorite character in the movie.

Blazing Saddles and In Search of the Holy Grail are the two movies during which I can’t stop laughing!

There are a couple of pretty funny scenes with him. But any scene with Gene W. or Cleavon L. in that movie. I its not easy for me to pick one now. Which one is it for you?

There was supposed to be an additional line, but it was apparently too much for Mel Brooks so he cut it.

After lights go out, zipper sound, and Lili says "It's twue, it's twue!"

A moment later Bart was supposed to say, "Baby, I don't want to disappoint you, but you're sucking on my elbow."
